Why students transforming?
Our own transformation journey started with our vision back in 2016. And students transforming was born.
We want to acknowledge our own journey: surviving political challenges like Brexit, reshaping the organisation due to the financial impact of the pandemic, and hitting hard times because of the cost-of-living crisis.
We want to honour our journey with honesty too. It’s been a rough ride in recent years. And it’s why we’re coming back with an absolute bang. So rather than being out with the old, and in with the new, we’re celebrating the two.
We continue to be students transforming for the next generation of students in an ever-changing world.
Built with the voice of students, for students, led by students. You’ve shared your cares, your whys, your reasons. We’ve taken all of that on board and created the strategic vision for the next 5 years. One that is agile, will be reviewed annually to adapt to the fast- changing sector, and most importantly, one that is always relevant to you, our members.
Our vision
Everything we work on, and work towards, will encompass the three themes below reminding us of our values:
- Liberation leading
- Community Building
- Purpose driving
Our people, departments, and metrics will be guided by these themes, and we will work towards achieving specific targets to make the SU students transforming.
Here’s where we’re going in a snapshot:
- A modernised organisation fit for students of today.
- Better prepared to take on the future’s adversities.
- Financially secure to adapt and change with the economic status of students and the UK.
- Embracing new innovative and creative ways of working for students, learning about what the new world of technology provides for us.
- Agile approach to the organisation’s focus based on live student needs and feedback.
